Sorry to burst this dimensional Mandela bubble , but its called graphic design!
Graphic designers do this all the time , and they constantly re-invent the wheel , letters joining together is nothing new in graphic design , they
are called ligatures!
Brand recognition is a huge thing , always has been , and so graphic designers are constantly updating the company brand imaging , updating the
typeface (fonts) and the Logos themselves to follow in line with fashion trends , colour styles they always change logos to meet the target
audience.
If a company isnt doing so well they re-brand , and change everything about their brand image.
Logos are no exception.
What I will say is a conspiracy is General Electric, they started a competition in the 90's to re-brand their company logo ,
bizarely a school in Falkirk was selected to do the design competition in line with British Petrochemicals.
My friend Dave designed the GE logo you see today, they stole his logo design and never credited him for it.
I will ask him to provide me with evidence to show he designed it, I'm sure he said he still has the competition certificate etc.
